It has entries for the predefined integer types declared in Standard (13), and the predefined floating-point types declared in Standard (17), but none for the predefined fixed-point types declared in Standard.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong (cuz then I could go bitch at my vendor). -- T.E.D. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
